In Kirov, the snowdrifts turned out to be bigger than the children.
People's Front activists documented snowbanks at schools and kindergartens that obstruct drivers' view of children and create a traffic hazard. The height of the snowbanks exceeds the standards of the municipal contract.
In Lyangasovo, they plan to build a 10-story building on the site of the dilapidated houses.
The Kirov city administration approved a decision on the comprehensive development of an undeveloped area in the Lyangasovo neighborhood. It concerns plots where unsafe apartment buildings once stood.
Scientists from the Laboratory of Astrochemistry at Ural Federal University have made an important discovery: they found “laughing gas” — nitrous oxide (N2O) — in interstellar ices. The results were published in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics, and the research was supported by the Russian Science Foundation.

Nitrous oxide was detected in the ices near 16 protostars out of 50 studied. Its abundance ranged from 0.2% to 2.1% relative to CO ice. This is the first reliable confirmation that N2O is indeed present in interstellar ices and occurs there fairly widely.
More than 300 molecules are already known in the gas phase of interstellar clouds, but finding them in ices is much more difficult — until now scientists had been able to confidently identify only eight. Nitrous oxide is now the ninth such molecule. Researchers also reported preliminary signs of another molecule — isocyanic acid (HNCO).
To identify N2O, the team compared James Webb Space Telescope data with laboratory spectra of ice grown on the ISEAge setup. This helped to accurately interpret the observations and confirm the finding.
The discovery is important because nitrous oxide can react more readily at very low temperatures than molecular nitrogen (N2). It can participate in the formation of more complex nitrogen-containing compounds — including those from which amino acids could later form.
Interestingly, half of the protostars with detected N2O are located in the Orion A star-forming region. Scientists suggest that strong ultraviolet radiation in this region may influence the formation of this molecule, but the exact mechanisms remain to be determined.

Interstellar ice — a thin icy mantle on particles of cosmic dust in cold clouds. Reactions can occur in it that help create more complex molecules potentially important for the origin of life.
In Kirov, work continues to remove hazardous trees and wild undergrowth. According to the landscaping directorate, today crews worked on Shironintsev Street — the work was prompted by residents' complaints about an overgrown maple tree.
A pensioner from the Arbazhsky District was left without heating.
In the Arbazhsky District, the prosecutor's office helped a 73-year-old local resident restore the electricity supply to her apartment, which had been illegally disconnected over a disputed debt.
